This was amongst the reason Naija lost the bid. Most citizens mocked the bid calling it misplaced priority and didn’t rally around the govt to pull it off like the Rwandans did.

Have you been to Rwanda? Can you by any means compare the rapid development they've experienced in the last couple of years with the situation in Nigeria. You can't rally round a 'bad product', let us get our acts right first.

Hope you know these races are not carried out on the regular streets, but rather on specially designed race tracks?
Besides we can celebrate another African without talking down on our own, wether deserved or not

Wrong.

There are six formula one races held on public roads in the circuit, the most famous and exciting race of them all - Monaco is held on the raw streets.

Dumez and Berger's solid infrastructure in the CBD ensures this can work.

Funny enough I didn't even know this, the only ones I've heard about are the ones in designated race circuits. We learn every day.

Nice one. Nigeria is still battling potholes and bad roads, we can't even think of hosting this for now. One day, we will get there.

Nigeria is only good at having drug pusher as their president and criminals as his cabinet members.

We will host it on Tinubu coastal road

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

What is good about your so-called "own" except stealing and mediocrity?

Rwanda is not struggling with basic issues of governance and corporate existence. They have sorted all that out decades ago and are now powering up. They have set aside the tribal fuel that fanned their civil war and have united properly.

Our own tribal conflicting continues to smoulder like a Cuban cigar, won't burn out, won't combust, just creating choking smoke and sweltering heat everywhere.

We will not join the big league until we sort out ourselves and create the lasting peace through equity and justice.

This I have said many times. Restructure for development.

PS, the militancy in the north, east and south reflects the weakness of the Nigeria state. When your body is not being nourished your organs begin to misbehave, the slightest infections put you down and recovery is long and arduous. Our continuous divisions weaken this country if we don't know. Every emphasis on tribe, every religious fight is an erosion of our sovereignty.

Giant of Africa nko

Formula 1 is not done on public roads. It has dedicated race courses.

Indy 500 is done on where?

EyeCumInPeace:
Nigeria next on the line to host.

Race Route:
Sokoto to Zamfara to Maiduguri.

Banditry/Kidnapping is now a thing of the past, all thanks to Tinubu. 😁

President Paul kagame is doing a fascinating job

He's a bloody dictator he doesn't have to ask for anyone's permission.

I suggest Tinubu remains a president for life too since we like romancing dictators, BTW there is also Tutsi ethnic dominance in his government and all levels of social and professional life in Rwanda.

He's also been fingered in all the major leaks of politically connected money laundering.

So it's just a facade, Rwanda is a poor example of a country they are living on borrowed time.

Meanwhile, Nigerian youths and the Nigerian government are only interested in exporting revival.

While Tinubu is wasting away with drugs in Nigeria.

giANT of Africa can never relate.

oga Lagos State hosted the historic E1 Lagos Grand Prix, Africa's first-ever all-electric powerboat championship, on the Lagos Lagoon and 5 Cowries Creek around Victoria Island and Ikoyi....

U can check it online... If u want a country like Rwanda then u must be ready for a man to rule us for like 20 years straight

I’ll be there. Huge huge achievement for the great man Afande Kagame

The Singapore Grand Prix begs to disagree. There are other prix sessions conducted on public roads. But I am cocksure of the Singapore Grand Prix because of the dearth of land.

This is lovely to hear.

As a F1 girlie, I will be watching the live event too.

What value will hosting it add to the country when over 50% of the population can't even feed 3 times a day?

That is my point brodie. Imagine Nigeria being an actual giant. We should have moved past hunger/NEPA and all of that, to hosting f1, Wimbledon, world cup etc. But alas here we are, regressing and struggling with the basics.

PDPdestroyer:
Na you go first shout misplaced priorities and hunger in the land if such is to hold in Nigeria. We know how you guys roll

Na lie, nothing like misplaced priority.

This will stimulate the economy and generate massive income during that period.

Nigeria can't relate coz it's a shit hole

Rwanda is next African country that will surpass South Africa in everything, her leader is doing very very well. They're Very decent people too.

As a Ugandan, I honestly envy Rwanda. 🇷🇼 President
@PaulKagame
knows how to market his country, attract global opportunities, and put Rwanda on the world map.

Congratulations to Rwanda on securing the opportunity to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix! 🏎️👏

Meanwhile, Uganda should be asking itself: How can we attract such opportunities instead of watching our neighbours take the lead? 🇺🇬

Nigeria is old and cannot keep up with the pace of world developments .

Our leaders are old and dont have ideas of what is obtainable outside .

Basic and normal daily infrastructure are seen as luxuries here.. thats why road rehabilitation takes stages for final approval.

The youths don't have the mindset of leadership but only want to get a share of bread from the older leaders.

Its not a curse o...... bro forget it, NIGERIA no fit better.. once u as an individual is ok and doing well in your own conner, Nigeria favour you be that..... the rest can go to hell.

Kigali here I come....Let's enjoy the moment F1

I thought Abuja have good roads. Rwanda is the bride of Africa, even Arsenal acknowledged this with Fly Rwanda.

ekpa they are sponsors who paid big dollars for that

Yes. I tried adding MotorGP to it, but didn't find it interesting as Formula One. Not all races o. The course circuit and country it's held matter most to me. And it's because of the Singapore version I liked watching it, just because of Singapore.

Formula One and Grand Slams (US Open, Roland Garros and Wimbledon). I swear, I can be willing to sit through a normal tennis match compared to a football game. I still don't know why.
